the major criminals out there, know how to get things done electronically. You don’t have to ‘lose’ your credit card to have credit card fraud happen to you, for example. you don’t have to lose your ‘pin’ either.

i’m not quite sure why none of these news stories elaborate any further than …x went ‘missing’.. and boom everyone gets scared. I mean..are we really so naive as to think that unless something goes physically missing, there is generally – data security?

clearly we are.

Is more public data being lost now than before

Before about 2005, apparently no-one ever lost or had stolen a CD-ROM, photo-ID card or passport.

I wonder what the big corporate interest is in stopping the ID card scheme? A sustained press campaign like this doesn’t come cheap. Might be interesting for someone to ferret around and see who is funding it.

WTF!
Is more public data being lost now than before or is there simply more reporting on the same frequency of these kind of incidences?
